The pump can provide much greater flow
when supplied with 13.8 volts than it can at <12 volts.
I thought about this some more later, and realized that my
ground test was even more encouraging, since I was running a single EWP
with
no alt.
I held the second EWP up to about 100
potential locations yesterday, and just can't find a good home for it. I
found one spot where it might work, if I cobble up a 90 degree AN12
fitting, but that would leave a short hose from an engine mounted
evap core, to the stationary (engine mount) mounted pump, and I'd
worry about fatiguing the evap
core.
I also thought about the fact that I'm in the process
of switching to Evan's NPG-R. Leaving the system just like it was, will
show me the difference between my old coolant mixture, and the new Evan's.
I'd hate to ruin that experiment by changing something
else at the same
time.
Bottom line, I'm not changing the RV-3 cooling system
at this time. Just not worth the effort for something that's working
fine. If the e-shaft alt becomes a reality, I'll try the EWP
without the mechanical
pump.
Cheers,
Rusty (rain really messing up my plans
today)
